| St. Augustine, Florida Lighthouse |
Lighthouses have a hypnotic effect. Even in daylight, they capture our attention, and for some devotees, lighthouses are a true passion.
Whether they stand watch on a river or along a rocky coastline, sailors and travelers have depended on them as a signpost to safety - and home.
If you have succumbed to the lure of lighthouses, here is an opportunity to answer that call.
Although not a contest, the popular annual event is designed to promote goodwill and friendship among amateur radio operators and shortwave hobbyists around the world. You may also follow the Amateur Radio Lighthouse Society on
Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/Amateur-Radio-Lighthouse-Society-ARLHS-117508118281703/
The following Special Event Stations contain QSL and contact information, as well as frequency usage. QSLing is available to amateur radio and shortwave listeners. This is a perfect time to collect these special lighthouse QSLs.
